Alright, here's my scum list

1-Splinter: I'm not one to talk, but that vote switch at day end was weird enough to give me pause.

2-Sorian: logically what he said last day phase before end game makes sense when it comes to players having power over their own lynch. It's just, in that situation did it have to be him? Or was it to control the vite?

3-CCS: Very bandwagon-ey, very shallow posts (irony) but what I dislike most is I can't find substantive arguments that were solely his and weren't discussed prior. Reads like a scum team.

4-Kyanrute: Smokescreen. I think there's some word for that in moon rune too that escapes me. I dislike how he's using me as a cover to look active and I hope if I flip you look towards someone that was prominent in pushing both Squidy and my lynch (note:Kyan)

5- Dragonz: I'm undecided if Dragonz is scum but from her reads and then self-deprecating humor before anyone calls her out on them, I find that pretty scummy.

5.5- Perhaps L_P? I don't know, your read list today didn't really give me much to go on.

Of the 6 I'd vote for anyone except L_P today and since CCS is taking off I'll go with my heart and say

Vote:CCS

hush you, you're dead.

 

[Verelios]

Wow, 1 down then

 

[Blargonaut]

oh whatever

GG GLHF

 

[Blargonaut]

Let this be a monument in the annals of GAFia history

Blarg didn't give up, Blarg was Redcard benched by the ref on a foul, foul technicality!

owwwww

oooooo it hurts

ohhhhh

Okay, I'll shut up now

continue pls

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

What happened?

 

[Faddy]

Wat

Yo. Do you think this is related to the note thing?

 

[*Splinter]

So day-vig or modkill?

I expected someone to be gloating by now.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I think it's a mod-kill.

 

[Verelios]

Wonder what he said to get MK

 

[acohrs]

Yay one of my reads wasn't complete nonsense!

 

[Faddy]

Also reading the player card it says Blarg was 1-shot bulletproof for a kill, does that mean the other orderly doesn't have that ability?

I guess it depends on why Blarg was killed.

 

[Ourobolus]

Majority is now 10.

 

[Gorlak]

hngnngngngn

I am reading throuh faddy's posts and up to the beginning of D2, I scumread him. He'd be my lead to takeaway from the Crab lynch as of now.

Blarg being scum changes things.

Of memory Sorian scumread him pretty clearly, Blarg himself was rather non existent today?

Quick look at his posts today:

Swamped pls

pls explain "chocolate pudding"

Commuter pls

Why did you specifically say chocolate pudding when Natiko only mentioned pudding in his Last Will? Why, Swamped?

There is custom Role fuckery on the level of St?p?fy afoot in this game, and now it's pissing me off, specifically what happened to me last Night

Tell me, Swamped, what did you do last Night?

great, and? Do I actually still have to ask?

What did it say, *Splinter?

And how was it written; specifically with regards to sentence structure?

Did it mention anything about chocolate pudding?

aight bitches

Blarg time

*sigh*

chocolate pudding

Did I ever tell you the definition of chocolate pudding?

and his last post before his death:

Everywhere I look

Everywhere I read

The first time Verelios said that? I dunno

I thought Vere was bullshitting me, so

Anyone else noticing a pattern?

 

[Gorlak]

I think it's a mod-kill.

I agree, but wouldn't Ouro put a notice up to make that clear?

 

[Ourobolus]

I agree, but wouldn't Ouro put a notice up to make that clear?

Check post 3. Technically I don't need to do this, but I was feeling generous.

 

[Kawl_USC]

Alright, that's one way to get on the board. Scum blarg give us a new perspective on anyone in particular?

FUCK, JELLO IS A GELATIN-BASED PUDDING, LOOK AT WIKIPEDIA

CHOCOLATE JELLO

FUCK OFF, OUROB

NO

I GOT THIS

So looking at that it seems to be a mod kill to me. here's what we know. Going off blargs post today, his focus on any past mentions of pudding(and no focus on the fruit post wamd made as swamped pointed out) and his angry post after that mod kill, I'd say it's better than good odds blarg had a restriction to use pudding in his posts today. The restriction that got Blarg mod killed isn't mentioned in his PM. That means it's another role. A restrictive role like that with death as a penalty says 3rd party to me.

So I'll say this, post restrictor, continue to target people who you feel are scummy as shit and we won't have a problem. You scratch our back, we won't vote to kick you out of the old Persons home and all that.

 

[*Splinter]

Ohhhh that kind of modkill

Lol, ok then

 

[Verelios]

Are you saying there's another neutral in the game Kawl? Also, Blarg's flip points to the existence of a vig, which is good to have late in the game.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Blarg's D2 votes: Swamped, Burb, then Crab.

Blarg's D1 votes: Squidy, Swamped, Faddy, Crab, Bronx, acohrs, WAMD. Ended the day with his vote on Crab.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Now, I hate bringing up past games (meta and all that), but I've played with scum Blarg before, and even with the randomness of Blarg, he'll specifically avoid his scummates. So his votes on Swamped have me feeling slightly better about Swamped being town.

Still keeping my vote on TWE.

 

[Kawl_USC]

Are you saying there's another neutral in the game Kawl? Also, Blarg's flip points to the existence of a vig, which is good to have late in the game.

Almost assuredly, yes. Post restrictions typically aren't town sided. We all knew this game has been too quiet for this large player count. I wouldn't even be sure there is a vig versus just a handful more 3rd killing roles running amok. Been waiting for the other shoe to drop since we've only had one kill a night.

 

[*Splinter]

Blarg's D2 votes: Swamped, Burb, then Crab.

Blarg's D1 votes: Squidy, Swamped, Faddy, Crab, Bronx, acohrs, WAMD. Ended the day with his vote on Crab.

Blarg/Swamped sure are interested in each other.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Oh yeah and the existence of a 1-shot BP for scum pretty much confirms the existence of multiple killing roles.

Which makes me wonder about the commuter claim.

BP wouldn't block poison/post restrictions while commuting would, however.

 

[nin1000]

WTF!!

 

[CCS]

So, that was certainly a thing that happened. I read through the following posts, but I'm still not sure why he was killed.

[Kawl_USC]

Who doesn't have an active vote ATM, ouro?

 

[Gorlak]

I decided to finish my readthrough of faddy.

The first noticeable thing was the discussion with fran. In which fran was stubborn to get faddy to explain his vote, which he didn't and later played it of as "information gathering", Natiko called him out for this. Faddy starts to go after fran and around that time faddy gets some heat. The rest of the day he takes stances to inactives and votes Crab somewhat out of nowhere in 1140. He has many interactions with Sorian and outright sheeps him 1248. In a similar manner he changes his vote to squidyj.

That in itself is pretty scummy. I don't know why there wasn't more focus on him yesterday as it stands. But let's look at what he did D2:

Oh, he votes Crab! And he thinks Crab was protected by scum going after CCS. At least faddy acknowledges that this argument perfectly fits himself. He's quieter than D1, trying to not gather heat?

Yep, he's arguing in a flimsy way, I think he's scum.

Vote: faddy

And a notice to faddy, it seems you didn't see my question since you posted afterwards already:

Why must he be town?

 

[franconp]

Post 3 says Blarg was modkilled. So this ID no vig related.

 

[Ourobolus]

Who doesn't have an active vote ATM, ouro?

Everyone that doesn't have an active vote.

edit: updated

 

[franconp]

*So this is not vig related.

Damned autocorrect.

 

[Gorlak]

That being said, I'll have to recollect my thoughts. A scum flip naturally changes things and it's worth looking at what Blarg put out.

One thing I do remember on the spot is his lenghty argument against Crab, which as it looks now was his actual read of Crab from scum perspective. Scum hoped to get rid of a PR with Crab? Makes me think there is more scum on the Crab lynch. What do the votes look like?

 

[Faddy]

Vote: faddy

And a notice to faddy, it seems you didn't see my question since you posted afterwards already:

I did miss your question. I think that point about CCS was an overreaction and me not thinking it through but I was in a CCS/Crab tunnel so if one was scum the other was scum. Although thinking about it CCS isn't in the clear and I still wrote down my doubts about his play in that post.

I don't think my day 1 Crab vote was out of nowhere though. His play seemed pretty scummy and he was inactive through most of the day.

 

[Kyanrute]

Ok. What. Umm. Cool.

All right. Modkill in post three. Why? The pudding seems possible, out of all the posts Gorlak gathered #2382 seems the strangest to me. There is nothing in that post and Blarg still mentions the pudding at the end. I am looking at Blarg's posts and he did not say much at all today. I see nothing matching in his post but the pudding.

But when did the post restriction begin if that was the reason behind the kill? Blarg did bring up the pudding way back in day two when he did that strange thing where he wanted people to quote Natiko's last will. Swamped references the pudding too since she obliges to Blarg's request. The discussion around Blarg's demand is short lived and dies fast nor is it brought up again. If pudding was a restriction, did Blarg know of it? While a post restriction could be a scum ability, it is of questionable utility imo. There would be no guarantee that the ability would help scum at all, assuming that the target would remember the restriction and not do a Blarg. And there is the strange part about how a scum ability would hit scum, switcher shenanigans or something like that would be required. The ability fits a neutral way better. It is a nuisance, a distraction, an annoyance. A scum investigative role?

 

[StanleyPalmtree]

Oh what a nice thing to wake up too.
Morning errybody.

Swamped. Ill answer your question when im at my pc at work (I hatemobile and I may have a lot to say).

However.

VOTE : achors

 

[cabot]

Try and spell it properly, love.

 

[CCS]

Poor acorns, people always get his name wrong

 

[Verelios]

I find it hard to believe both Acohrs and CCS are scum together this game and of the two CCS appears a lot more worrisome.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Also another thing to look at would be if Blarg got the post restriction N1, did anyone else get it on N2?

 

[nin1000]

i still dont understand why blarg got modkilled.

 

[*Splinter]

i still dont understand why blarg got modkilled.

It looks like he had to include "chocolate pudding" in every post, but didn't include it in his last post.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Who are some people that noticeably defended blarg towards the end of each day?

 

[Verelios]

i still dont understand why blarg got modkilled.

I...think he had to use pudding in every post all day phase and tried to get through on a technicality (lol jello)

 

[StanleyPalmtree]

Also nin. You probs aint dying tonight. Chill man. Trust me. I been there.

"Stop Aku! I wont let you harm another ninocent!"

Bronx you should totally say that when you pm ouro tonight.

 

[*Splinter]

If Blarg did know about post restrictions on D2 (which I'm not 100% sure on), does that mean another scum was restricted that day?

Or that it's a scum ability, I guess. Targetting a teammate wouldn't be that unbelievable a play.

 

[Gorlak]

Blarg was on Crab both days. Along with Bronx and Swamped. Would they have tried to get Crab lynched D1 already? Stacking this early? He leveled the votes with 4-4 D1. But he also jumped around before that voting Squidyj (1290), then Swamped (1297) and eventually Crab (1303).

Will look into Blarg's post.
